Spiritual Interventions in Iran: a Review Article

Objectives: Although many studies have examined the effects of
spiritual interventions, ambiguity of the model of them causes bias.
This study aimed to achieve a picture of spiritual interventions in
Iran as a Shiite Muslim country.
Method: An advanced search was conducted in main Iranian and
international databases using both the English and Persian keywords
of spiritual intervention, spiritual care, spiritual therapy, spiritual
support, and spirituality. Iranian studies that indexed until May 2016
and were related to the effects of spiritual therapies in clinical trials
were selected.
Results: Out of the 31selected articles, 17 were in Persianlanguage
journals, and 14 were in English-language journals. The
interventions that have presented in these articles were classified
into three main categories: research-based interventions, mixed
interventions and arbitrary interventions.
Conclusion: No clear model for spiritual interventions can be
extracted from Iranian studies.
